A Quantock New Year.

Hello.
Lucky old me.
I’m coming to Wellington ,near Taunton for five days – from the 28 Dec.
I know there are a few friendly souls in the South West who come on here,
so I was wondering if there were any rides in the Quantocks/Exmoor over that period ,I could tag along to?
Obviously ,being the festive season I would get the drinks& mince pies in!
Alternatively give me some route ideas please.

Hi
I was up on Exmoor yesterday and it’s a bog, best avoided. Quantocks are brilliant, check out Bicyclechains facebook page because they quite often post rides on there. Better still pop into Taunton or Bridgewater branch of Bicyclechain and ask them if they know of anyone going out over the holidays. Good luck and have fun, P

Thanks all.
Oldfart-lucky you.maybe another time.
Aande/bobsoff – sorry about this – but is it (q’s) boggy enough for purely mud tyres – or just a bit messy?
Saladdodger – cool.I’ll keep an eye out nearer the time.

Bumpage –
Does anyone have any circular route maps they could send me please?
I’ve got the O.S.140 and I’ve found various combes that have been mentioned on here previously (Weacombe/Slaughterhouse ; Dowsborough/Bin Combe and more).
It’s just a case of stringing it all together .
I’m thinking of starting at the south and zigzaging my way north and using the Macmillan Way to get me back when I’m knakd/fed up. –
Any suggestions welcome.
Also – where’s good to park? I was thinking of Hawkridge reservoir maybe?
